Single omegas in heat go to clinics. Single alphas in a rut… call her.
When packless omegas go into heat, they have centers designed to help them through it—quiet, discreet, and judgment-free.
But when alphas rut?
They hire Chiara.
By day, she's a video game journalist with a looming deadline and a boss who doesn't believe in excuses. By night, she's Marie—a beta rut care specialist who keeps her clients comfortable, her boundaries firm, and her two lives completely separate.
She's very good at her job. Both of them.
Until she isn't.
Between a sweet alpha client who keeps texting her long after the rut, an omega nepo baby who demands she stick around, and a masked alpha dom who pushes all her buttons, Chiara’s worlds begin to blur. Missed deadlines turn into office tension, and professional boundaries wobble.
The problem isn't that her two lives are colliding. The problem is she's not sure she wants to stop it…
"The Rutcracker" is a festive, fast-paced omegaverse rom-com full of video games, fashion, spice, and low-commitment, high-chemistry chaos—because sometimes the best holiday surprise is getting what you didn't know to ask for.
This is a holiday installment of “The Packs of New Avone” series, a collection of interconnected standalone romances. Each book follows a different pack and can be read in any order.
